Yesterday, in my AP Government (Pre-IB with an AP exam, apparently) class, I had to fill out a sheet with the influences on my opinions. I listed "Youthink" as one of my strongest influences. Anyone else have a story like that? |

I wish I had an AP Government class! I'm restricted to occasionally getting to discuss it in AP U.S. History
YT turned me into an atheist, I think. Not a bad thing, really. It made me way less sheltered as far as freedom of thought goes. if that makes any sense. |

I also meant having to admit that YT changed our opinions. |

well, yeah, it has. I think that's a good thing. I actually think it's a phenomenal thing. gives me hope, when people can really change their opinions through open discussion and consideration. a little intellectual honesty, curiosity and integrity |

My opinions are influenced by myself 100% of the time. |

Lol. You guys should have fun with these statements then:
Atheists are lying to themselves.
You'd have to be a moron to not admit God exists.
Abortion is the only way to get away with murder every time.
And Obama is not the anti-christ, but he is evil.
And christians shouldn't believe all gay people are going to hell.

OMC, you fail at being cool. |

I would like to have something that backs up "you'd have to be a moron to not admit God exists." |

(I agree with 2 anyways) |

I can agree with the abortion one. But the way it is presented, it doesn't phase me in any way. |

Actually, now that I think about it, I disagree with the abortion one. The Zodiac makes that statement null and void |

there's plenty more ways to get away with murder than that!
joining the military is the easiest |

no you don't. because if you really wanted something to back it up, you'd have looked into it yourself. you just want some one to spoon feed it to you, but even if i did give you my arguments, you wouldn't really care anyway, because your mind is already made up. |

Now, I may be wrong, but I think you just defeated your entire argument with that statement. |
|
|

but if you want to get away with a whole LOT of murder (we're talking entire populations here) then getting elected President has been a surefire way of doing so for the past 100 years or so |

Everyone gets away with murder, actually. |
|
|
Saturday 10/24/09 - 8:10:05 PM
now it's YOUR turn to back up a statement!
(depending on where you're going with it, I might actually agree) |

We never had government class in high school.
Probably because ours is so boring and insignificant. |

So someone murders someone. They get arreseted and sentenced to death. How is the ending of their life any different than anyone elses? We all die. |

If everyone's mind is already made up, what good is making those statements? |
